Abstract
Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) demonstrate variable expression in the pediatric population. Thus, understanding of age-dependent maturation of UGTs is critical for accurate pediatric pharmacokinetics (PK) prediction of drugs that are susceptible for glucuronidation. Ontogeny functions of major UGTs have been previously developed and reported. However, those ontogeny functions are based on in vitro data (i.e., enzyme abundance, in vitro substrate activity, and so on) and therefore, may not translate to in vivo maturation of UGTs in the clinical setting. This report describes meta-analysis of the literature to develop and compare ontogeny functions for 8 primary UGTs (UGT1A1, UGT1A4, UGT1A6, UGT1A9, UGT2B7, UGT2B10, UGT2B15, and UGT2B17) based on published in vitro and in vivo studies. Once integrated with physiologically based pharmacokinetics modeling models, in vivo activity-based ontogeny functions demonstrated somewhat greater prediction accuracy (mean squared error, MSE: 0.05) compared to in vitro activity (MSE: 0.104) and in vitro abundance-based ontogeny functions (MSE: 0.129).

[PMID: 37493972 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-05092-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Revised: 06/23/2023] [Accepted: 07/03/2023] [Indexed: 07/27/2023]
Abstract
Oxcarbazepine (OXC) is an antiepileptic drug whose efficacy is largely attributed to its monohydroxy derivative metabolite (MHD). Nevertheless, there exists significant inter-individual variability in both the pharmacokinetics and therapeutic response of this drug. The objective of this study is to explore the impact of patients' characteristics and genetic variants on MHD clearance in a population pharmacokinetic (PPK) model of Chinese pediatric patients with epilepsy. The PPK model was developed using a nonlinear mixed effects modeling method based on 231 MHD plasma concentrations obtained from 185 children with epilepsy. The one-compartment model and combined residual model were established to describe the pharmacokinetics of MHD. Forward addition and backward elimination were employed to evaluate the impact of covariates on the model parameters. The model was evaluated using goodness-of-fit, bootstrap, visual predictive checks, and normalized prediction distribution errors. In the two final PPK models, age, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and a combined genotype of six variants (rs1045642, rs2032582, rs7668282, rs2396185, rs2304016, rs1128503) were found to significantly reduce inter-individual variability for MHD clearance. The inter-individual clearance equals to 1.38 × (Age/4.74)0.29 × (eGFR/128.66)0.25 × eθABCB-UGT-SCN-INSR for genetic variants included model and 1.30 × (Age/4.74)0.30 × (eGFR/128.66)0.23 for model without genetic variants. The precision of all parameters was deemed acceptable, and the model exhibited good predictability while remaining stable and effective. Conclusion: Age, eGFR, and genotype may play a significant role in MHD clearance in children with epilepsy. The developed PPK models hold potential utility in facilitating oxcarbazepine dose adjustment in pediatric patients. What is Known: • The adjustment of the oxcarbazepine regimen remains difficult due to the considerable inter- and intra-individual variability of oxcarbazepine pharmacokinetics. • Body weight and co-administration with enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs emerge as the most influential factors contributing to the pharmacokinetics of MHD. What is New: • A positive correlation was observed between eGFR and the clearance of MHD in pediatric patients with epilepsy. • We explored the influence of genetic polymorphisms on MHD clearance and identified a combined genotype (ABCB-UGT-SCN-INSR) that exhibited a significant association with MHD concentration.

Abstract
As a chronic brain disease, epilepsy affects ~50 million people worldwide. The traditional antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are widely applied but showing various problems. Although the new AEDs have partially solved the problems of traditional AEDs, the current clinical application of traditional AEDs are not completely replaced by new drugs, particularly due to the large individual differences in drug plasma concentrations and narrow therapeutic windows among patients. Therefore, it is still clinically important to continue to treat patients using traditional AEDs with individualized therapeutic plans. To date, our understanding of the molecular and genetic mechanisms regulating plasma concentrations of AEDs has advanced rapidly, expanding the knowledge on the effects of genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes on the plasma concentrations of AEDs. It is increasingly imperative to summarize and conceptualize the clinical significance of recent studies on individualized therapeutic regimens. In this review, we extensively summarize the critical effects of genetic polymorphisms of genes encoding drug-metabolizing enzymes on the plasma concentrations of several commonly used AEDs as well as the clinical significance of testing genotypes related to drug metabolism on individualized drug dosage. Our review provides solid experimental evidence and clinical guidance for the therapeutic applications of these AEDs.

Redefining the age-specific therapeutic ranges of lamotrigine for patients with epilepsy: A step towards optimizing treatment and increasing cost-effectiveness. Epilepsy Res 2021; 176:106728. [PMID: 34339940 DOI: 10.1016/j.eplepsyres.2021.106728] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Revised: 07/10/2021] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE The pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine exhibits age-related characteristics. Nevertheless, current evidence regarding the therapeutic range of lamotrigine has been derived almost exclusively from studies in adult patients, and the applicability of this therapeutic range to the pediatric population remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to establish the appropriate age-specific therapeutic ranges of lamotrigine corresponding to adequate clinical responses for patients with epilepsy. METHODS This prospective cohort study of therapeutic drug monitoring included 582 Chinese epilepsy patients receiving lamotrigine monotherapy. Patients were divided into three age-related subgroups: (1) toddler and school-age group (2-12 years old, n = 168), (2) adolescent group (12-18 years old, n = 171), and (3) adult group (>18 years old, n = 243). Patients with a reduction in seizure frequency of 50 % or greater than baseline were defined as responders, and the remaining patients were non-responders. The relationship between lamotrigine serum concentrations and clinical response was assessed using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was generated to determine the representative cut-off values of lamotrigine trough levels, to distinguish responders from non-responders. The upper margin of the therapeutic range of lamotrigine was determined by developing concentration-effect curves for the three age-related subgroups. RESULTS The median trough levels of lamotrigine were significantly higher in responders than in non-responders from all three age-related groups (P < 0.0001). Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that higher serum concentrations of lamotrigine predicted a higher probability that seizure frequency would be reduced by more than 50 % compared to baseline (adjusted odds ratio: 1.228, 95 % CI: 1.137-1.327; P < 0.0001), and younger children were less likely to be responders (adjusted odds ratio: 1.027, 95 % CI: 1.012-1.043; P = 0.001). Based on a trade-off between sensitivity and specificity, the optimal cut-off values for lamotrigine trough concentrations corresponding to clinical response were 3.29 mg/L, 2.06 mg/L, and 1.61 mg/L in the toddler and school-age group, adolescent group, and adult group, respectively. By reducing interpatient variability, the results of the concentration-effect curves suggested no additional clinical benefit from a continued increase of doses for lamotrigine concentrations exceeding 9.08 mg/L, 8.43 mg/L, and 10.38 mg/L in the toddler and school-age group, adolescent group, and adult group, respectively. In conclusion, the therapeutic ranges of lamotrigine trough concentrations corresponding to adequate clinical response were 3.29-9.08 mg/L in the toddler and school-age group, 2.06-8.43 mg/L in the adolescent group, and 1.61-10.38 mg/L in the adult group. CONCLUSIONS The study determined age-specific therapeutic ranges corresponding to optimal clinical efficacy for lamotrigine. Our findings lay the foundation for catalyzing novel opportunities to optimize treatment and reduce therapeutic costs. Based on the age-specific therapeutic ranges identified in this study, individualized and cost-effective algorithms for lamotrigine treatment of epilepsy patients may be developed and validated in larger cohort studies of therapeutic drug monitoring.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetic variability of lamotrigine (LTG) plays a significant role in its dosing requirements. Our goal here was to use noninvasive clinical parameters to predict the dose-adjusted concentrations (C/D ratio) of LTG based on machine learning (ML) algorithms. A total of 1141 therapeutic drug-monitoring measurements were used, 80% of which were randomly selected as the "derivation cohort" to develop the prediction algorithm, and the remaining 20% constituted the "validation cohort" to test the finally selected model. Fifteen ML models were optimized and evaluated by tenfold cross-validation on the "derivation cohort,” and were filtered by the mean absolute error (MAE). On the whole, the nonlinear models outperformed the linear models. The extra-trees’ regression algorithm delivered good performance, and was chosen to establish the predictive model. The important features were then analyzed and parameters of the model adjusted to develop the best prediction model, which accurately described the C/D ratio of LTG, especially in the intermediate-to-high range (≥ 22.1 μg mL−1 g−1 day), as illustrated by a minimal bias (mean relative error (%) = + 3%), good precision (MAE = 8.7 μg mL−1 g−1 day), and a high percentage of predictions within ± 20% of the empirical values (60.47%). This is the first study, to the best of our knowledge, to use ML algorithms to predict the C/D ratio of LTG. The results here can help clinicians adjust doses of LTG administered to patients to minimize adverse reactions.

[DOI: 10.2174/1573411016666200108143049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
Background:
Lamotrigine (LTG), topiramate (TPM), and oxcarbazepine (OXC) are
commonly used antiepileptic drugs. The bioactivity and toxicity of these drugs were related to their
blood concentrations which varied greatly among individuals and required to be monitored for dose
adjustment. However, the commercial method for monitoring of these drugs is not available in China.
Methods:
A UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous determination of LTG, TPM, OXC, and OXC
active metabolite (10,11-dihydro-10-hydroxycarbazepine, MHD) was developed and validated according
to the guidelines and applied in clinical practice.
Results:
he separation was achieved by using methanol and water (both contain 0.1% formic acid)
at 0.4 mL/min under gradient elution within 3 min. For all analytes, the isotope internal standard was
used; the selectivity was good without significant carry over; LTG and TPM were linear between
0.06 to 12 mg/L while OXC and MHD were linear between 0.03 to 6 mg/L, the upper limit could be
10-fold higher because 10-fold dilution with water did not affect the results; the intra-day and interday
bias and imprecision were -13.11% to 5.42% and < 13.32%; the internal standard normalized recovery
and matrix factor were 90.95% to 111.94% and 95.57% to 109.91%; and all analytes were
stable under tested conditions. LTG and OXC-D4 shared two ion pairs m/z 257.1 > 212.0 and 257.1 >
184.0, and m/z 257.1 > 240.0 was suggested for OXC-D4 quantitation. Lamotrigine and lamotrigine-
13C3 shared three ion pairs m/z 259.0 > 214.0, 259.0 > 168.0 and 259.0 > 159.0, and m/z 259.0 >
144.9 was suggested for LTG-13C3 quantitation. CBZ had a slight influence on OXC analysis only at
0.225 mg/L (bias, 20.24%) but did not affect MHD analysis. Optimization of chromatography conditions
was useful to avoid the influence of isobaric mass transitions on analysis. This method has been
successfully applied in 208 patients with epilepsy for dose adjustment.
Conclusions:
An accurate, robust, rapid, and simple method for simultaneous determination of LTG,
TPM, OXC, and MHD by UHPLC-MS/MS was developed, validated, and successfully applied in patients
with epilepsy for dose adjustment. The experiences during method development, validation,
and application might be helpful for other researchers.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lamotrigine (LTG) is one of the most used antiseizure medications (ASMs). Titration is indicated for incomplete seizure control, but toxicity with vertigo, ataxia, and diplopia may ensue. Lamotrigine concentration would be the optimal diagnostic test. However, patients often receive a stroke evaluation when presenting to the emergency department (ED), leading to unnecessary cost and delayed management. We investigated the frequency of stroke evaluation for symptoms associated with LTG toxicity and attempted to identify factors leading to this expensive evaluation. METHODS We identified adult patients treated with LTG who presented to an emergency room with dizziness, ataxia, or diplopia and received a negative stroke evaluation, between 2003 and 2018. They were among 972 patients treated with LTG for epilepsy. We collected age at time of occurrence, symptoms presented, imaging studies performed, LTG dose and serum concentration, and the time the result was available. As a denominator, we also identified patients who developed clinical LTG toxicity during the same time period. RESULTS Thirteen patients with LTG toxicity had 16 negative stroke evaluations in the emergency room. Their mean age was 62 years (range: 43-79) as compared with 47 years for all patients treated with LTG (p < 0.0005). The mean daily LTG dose was 621 mg (range: 300-900 mg). A LTG serum concentration was requested on the day of evaluation in 7 instances, though the result was never available until at least the next day. In 4 instances, the LTG level was drawn 1-3 days after presentation. Five of the patients in this group were among 71 patients with clinical LTG toxicity and LTG concentration >20. CONCLUSION Emergency departments will frequently call a stroke alert for patients taking LTG and presenting with symptoms consistent with LTG toxicity, particularly in seniors at greater risk of stroke. This adds not only expense but also radiation and contrast exposure from computed tomography (CT) studies. We recommend that a rapid LTG assay be made available and always ordered in patients receiving LTG, avoiding the considerable expense of an unnecessary stroke evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS In this study, we evaluate the performance of allometric concepts to predict the implications of age and size on the pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine, and assess the dose rationale across different age groups from 0.2 to 91 years. METHODS An allometrically scaled pharmacokinetic model was developed using adolescent and adult data, taking into account the effect of comedications. Model parameters were then used to extrapolate lamotrigine pharmacokinetics to older adults (> 65 years), children (4-12 years) and infants and toddlers (0.2-2.0 years). In addition, simulations were performed to identify the implication of different doses and dosing regimens for each population, so as to ensure steady-state concentrations within a predefined reference range. RESULTS The pharmacokinetics of lamotrigine was best described using a one-compartment model with first-order absorption and elimination. Carbamazepine, phenytoin, and valproic acid changed systemic clearance (CL) by + 76.5, + 129, and - 47.4%, respectively. Allometric principles allowed accurate extrapolation of disposition parameters to older adults and children older than 4 years of age. A maturation function was required to describe changes in exposure in younger patients. Compared with adults, a child aged 1.7 years has a 31.5% higher CL, after correcting for body weight. Patients > 65 years of age showed a decrease in CL of approximately 15%. CONCLUSION Population pharmacokinetic models are usually limited to a subgroup of patients, which may mask the identification of factors contributing to interindividual variability. The availability of an integrated model including the whole patient population provides insight into the role of age-related changes in the disposition of lamotrigine, and potential implications for maintenance dose optimisation in any future trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION According to GlaxoSmithKline's Clinical Trial Register, data from the GlaxoSmithKline studies LAM100034 and LEP103944, corresponding to ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers NCT00113165 and NCT00264615, used in this work, have been used in previous publications (doi: https://doi.org/10.1212/01.wnl.0000277698.33743.8b , https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2007.01274.x ).

Epilepsy Behav 2019; 96:132-140. [PMID: 31132614 DOI: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2019.04.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2018] [Revised: 04/03/2019] [Accepted: 04/07/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study investigated the effect of delayed or missed doses on the pharmacokinetics (PK) of lamotrigine (LTG) in children with epilepsy and established remedial dosing recommendations for nonadherent patients. METHODS The Monte Carlo simulation based on a published LTG population PK model was used to assess the effect of different scenarios of nonadherence and the subsequently administered remedial regimens. The following three remedial approaches were investigated for each delayed dose: A) A partial dose was administered immediately, and the regular dose was administered at the next scheduled time. B) The delayed dose was administered immediately, followed by a partial dose at the next scheduled time. C) The delayed and partial doses were coadministered immediately, the next scheduled dose was skipped, and the regular dosing was resumed at the subsequent scheduled time. The most appropriate remedial regimen was that with the shortest deviation time from the individual therapeutic window. RESULTS The effect of nonadherence on PK was dependent on the delay duration and daily dose, and the recommended remedial dose was related to the delay duration and concomitant antiepileptic drugs. Remedial dosing strategies A and B were almost equivalent, whereas C showed a larger PK deviation time. If one dose was missed, double doses were not recommended for the next scheduled time. CONCLUSIONS Simulations provide quantitative insight into the remedial regimens for nonadherent patients, and clinicians should select the optimal regimen based on the status of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To ascertain the clinical and genetic factors contributing to carbamazepine- and oxcarbazepine-induced hyponatremia (COIH), and to carbamazepine (CBZ) metabolism, in a retrospectively collected, cross-sectional cohort of people with epilepsy. METHODS We collected data on serum sodium levels and antiepileptic drug levels in people with epilepsy attending a tertiary epilepsy center while on treatment with CBZ or OXC. We defined hyponatremia as Na+ ≤134 mEq/L. We estimated the CBZ metabolic ratio defined as the log transformation of the ratio of metabolite CBZ-diol to unchanged drug precursor substrate as measured in serum. RESULTS Clinical and genetic data relating to carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine trials were collected in 1141 patients. We did not observe any genome-wide significant associations with sodium level in a linear trend or hyponatremia as a dichotomous trait. Age, sex, number of comedications, phenytoin use, phenobarbital use, and sodium valproate use were significant predictors of CBZ metabolic ratio. No genome-wide significant associations with CBZ metabolic ratio were found. SIGNIFICANCE Although we did not detect a genetic predictor of hyponatremia or CBZ metabolism in our cohort, our findings suggest that the determinants of CBZ metabolism are multifactorial.

Abstract
AIMS This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic model for quantitative evaluation of the influence of genetic variants in metabolic enzymes and transporters on lamotrigine pharmacokinetics while taking into account the influence of various clinical, biochemical and demographic factors. METHODS We included 100 patients with epilepsy on stable dosing with lamotrigine as mono or adjunctive therapy. Lamotrigine and lamotrigine N-2-glucuronide concentrations were determined in up to two plasma samples per patient. Patients were genotyped for UGT1A4, UGT2B7, ABCB1 and SLC22A1. Population pharmacokinetic analysis was performed by non-linear mixed effects modelling. Prior knowledge from previous pharmacokinetic studies was incorporated to stabilize the modelling process. A parent-metabolite model was developed to get a more detailed view on the covariate effects on lamotrigine metabolism. RESULTS With a base model absorption rate (interindividual variability) was estimated at 1.96 h(-1) (72.8%), oral clearance at 2.32 l h(-1) (41.4%) and distribution volume at 77.6 l (30.2%). Lamotrigine clearance was associated with genetic factors, patient's weight, renal function, smoking and co-treatment with enzyme inducing or inhibiting drugs. In patients with UGT2B7-161TT genotype clearance was lower compared with GT and GG genotypes. Clearance was particularly high in patients with UGT2B7 372 GG genotype (compared with AA genotype it was 117%; 95% CI 44.8, 247% higher). CONCLUSIONS Variability in lamotrigine pharmacokinetics is large and quantification of its sources may lead to more precise individual treatment. Genotyping for UGT2B7 may be useful in various clinical settings.

Abstract
AIM To develop a population pharmacokinetics model of oxcarbazepine in Chinese pediatric patients with epilepsy, and to study the interactions between oxcarbazepine and other antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). METHODS A total of 688 patients with epilepsy aged 2 months to 18 years were divided into model (n=573) and valid (n=115) groups. Serum concentrations of the main active metabolite of oxcarbazepine, 10-hydroxycarbazepine (MHD), were determined 0.5-48 h after the last dosage. A population pharmacokinetics (PPK) model was constructed using NLME software. This model was internally evaluated using Bootstrapping and goodness-of-fit plots inspection. The data of the valid group were used to calculate the mean prediction error (MPE), mean absolute prediction error (MAE), mean squared prediction error (MSE) and the 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) to externally evaluate the model. RESULTS The population values of pharmacokinetic parameters estimated in the final model were as follows: Ka=0.83 h-1, Vd=0.67 L/kg, and CL=0.035 L·kg(-1)·h(-1). The enzyme-inducing AEDs (carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital) and newer generation AEDs (levetiracetam, lamotrigine, topiramate) increased the weight-normalized CL value of MHD by 17.4% and 10.5%, respectively, whereas the enzyme-inhibiting AED valproic acid decreased it by 3%. No significant association was found between the CL value of MHD and the other covariates. For the final model, the evaluation results (95% CI) were MPE=0.01 (-0.07-0.10) mg/L, MAE=0.46 (0.40-0.51) mg/L, MSE=0.39 (0.27-0.51) (mg/L)(2). CONCLUSION A PPK model of OXC in Chinese pediatric patients with epilepsy is established. The enzyme-inducing AEDs and some newer generation AEDs (lamotrigine, topiramate) could slightly increase the metabolism of MHD.

Abstract
The purpose of this review is to discuss gender-related aspects in the, pharmacokinetics, effects, selection and use of antiepileptic drugs (AED). In general, there are few known gender related differences in pharmacokinetics or efficacy of AEDs. Conversely, gender has a significant influence on the susceptibility to certain adverse effects, not the least those involving alterations in sex hormone metabolism. Particularly relevant are the teratogenic effects of AEDs, with important differences among AEDs in their potential to cause adverse effects on the fetus when used during pregnancy. Pregnancy can also markedly affect the pharmacokinetics of several AEDs, and dose adjustments are often needed during pregnancy to maintain seizure control. Some treatments that are used only by women, such as contraceptive steroids and hormone replacement therapy, can also interact with AEDs to an extent that may affect the utilization of both the AEDs and the other drug.
